SBORDT SBOURITY INTERMATION
- 3 -
C. Progress toward this end would be accelerated if Egyptian
Government would define more clearly its views with respect to both military
and economic assistance. The United States Government will consider such
views with utmost care, taking into account the many factors involved in
building the defense of the free world and limitation on available supplies
of equipment and funds and the numerous other demands upon the United States.
out
d. It is noted that it is proposed that Egypt give certain secret
commitments concerning the long-term objectives of the new regime. In
this connection, we believe that Egypt should consider whether it would
be prepared to give commitments androt assurances to the effect that one of
the ultimate objectives of its policy is participation with the United States,
United Kingdom and other free-world powers in planning for the common defense
of the area. Additionally, and since settlement of the Anglo-Egyptian problem
is closely related to Middle East defense, we believe that Egypt should
consider whether it would also be prepared to state as another of its objectives
the settlement of the Anglo-Egyptian problem with respect to the Canal Zone
on the basis that strategic facilities in the Canal Zone would be maintained
with assistance to the extent required to insure that they could be speedily
and effectively used in event of a threat to security of the area.
e. While the United States is desirous of assisting Egypt within
the limits of its ability, it is not in a position in view of its world
commitments to undertake a purely bilateral program of cooperation. It
would therefore hope that Egypt would continue also to look to its habitual
sources of supply.
f. Finally,
END and
the
SECRET SECURITY INPORMATION
